Those that had tow hubs were really something!!! Definately an upgrade!! I remember being slid under my uncles car to remove/install the driveshaft! Of course that was after we got a tow vehicle!

Good stuff!!! Thanks!

40 years ago this spring I turned my 67 Camaro in to my first all out racecar.Had a set of the MNW tow hubs,and bar i towed it with. Used a 68 Buick Sportwagon with a 400 big block Buick for power.Had to stop every 50 miles or so to filler up with water(cracked head).The local track had gravel right at the turn in.Had to get out and crank the steering wheel of the Camaro to get her to follow the tow vehicle into the pits.Sure could have used a power impact in those days.That was a lot of cranking lug nuts off and on!!!!

NMW free wheeling hubs , tow bars and bumper attachments were made in Hackensack, N.J. NMW stood for New Milford Welding and if I remember the hubs were about $70.00. Probably at that time ( around 70-71 ) you could pick up the whole package for about $ 125.00.

O'Connell, Hill & Busshart the F/G national record holders towed all over the southeast & to Indy with them in the late 60s, early 70s before finally building a trailer. A lot of race cars & tow cars or both ended up on the roof because of them too {and a momentary nod off}
